Answer:

1) Energy Efficient:

2) Environment Friendly:

3) Reduced Maintenance Cost:

4) Quieter than Conventional Trains

Step-by-step explanation:

MAGLEV Trains:

The word MAGLEV is a short form derived from "Magnetic Levitation" which is the working principle of these trains.

How Magnetic Levitation Train Works?

Powerful and huge magnets are installed on top of guide-ways and at the bottom of the train. the poles of magnets causes repulsion force that pushes the train upward and the train hovers in the air. Similarly, to move the train forward or reverse, the phenomenon of attraction and repulsion is used.

What are the advantage of MAGLEV trains?

Besides high speed, A MAGLEV train provides the following advantages:

1) Energy Efficient:

Maglev trains are more efficient than the conventional trains because the conventional trains uses the combustion engine which has a low efficiency.

2) Environment Friendly:

Since maglev trains dont have combustion engines. therefore, these are much more environment friendly as compared to conventional trains which generate a lot of pollution

3) Reduced Maintenance Cost:

Since there are no moving parts in a maglev train, therefore, the wear and tear costs are very less as compared to conventional train which has many moving parts.

4) Quieter than Conventional Trains

Since maglev trains works on the principle of levitation which dont have any moving parts unlike conventional trains where moving wheels generate noisy sounds therefore, maglev trains are quieter than conventional trains.
